Agency Scrutiny Affecting Federal Employees

As you are undoubtedly aware, there has been an incredible amount of attention and scrutiny upon federal agencies and programs.

Whether true or false, and whether exacerbated by media sensation, negative public impact or political agendas, if you don't have professional liability coverage in place, the cost to defend your decisions, actions, or inactions could be cost prohibitive - even if you are ultimately vindicated.
